12.2.

The remuneration currently owed is based on the chosen plan and is quoted net. Statutory VAT applicable at the time of invoicing is charged in addition. The remuneration is due to payment at the beginning of each payment interval.

12.3.

We reserve the right to change the scale of remuneration at any time. With regard to current contracts, such change shall take effect only from the beginning of the following contracting period.

12.8.

Should you fall into arrears with your payments, we have the right to refuse to fulfill payments due to you and to block access to the user account until such default has been rectified. In such cases we will normally notify you of such at least 10 working days in advance to rectify such default. In the case of users who are consumers, the arrears must not be only marginally and the blocking must not be unreasonable for the user. Our other legal and contractual rights with regard to payment delay shall remain unaffected.

12.9.

Should you fall into arrears with your payment, you must expect to be charged 5% interest for late payment above the base interest rate effective for the place of our registered office.

We reserve the right to raise a claim for a higher value of compensation for such delay.

12.10.

13.5.

Both contracting parties reserve the right to an early extraordinary termination of the contract for important reasons. An extraordinary termination is permitted in particular where you remain in default with your payment obligations for two months. Where necessary, a written warning concerning the objectionable conduct must precede the extraordinary termination.

13.6.

In case of contract termination, you are responsible for saving your data before your contract expires.

13.7.

For the avoidance of doubt, termination of our services Service shall not limit us from pursuing other remedies to which we are entitled under these Publisher Terms and Conditions, any other agreement or under any applicable law, including, without limitation, any injunctive relief.

13.8.

This applies especially to changes of purely optical kind and mere changes in the arrangement of functions.

14.3.

Where such change in the scope of functions impairs your contractual use of our Service to a more than negligible degree, you have the right to a fee adjustment or the termination of your contract.
